Abstract
An electronic apparatus of the present disclosure includes: a communicator comprising communication circuitry configured to wirelessly communicate with one or more external apparatuses; a signal processor configured to process data; and a controller configured to control an external apparatus to be designated as a transmitter for transmitting data and the electronic apparatus to be designated as a receiver for receiving the data from the transmitter if it is determined that the external apparatus is within a preset distance of the electronic apparatus and the external apparatus is moving.
Claims15
An electronic apparatus comprising:
- a sensor configured to detect a movement of the electronic apparatus;
- a communicator comprising communication circuitry configured to wirelessly communicate with one or more external apparatuses;
- a signal processor configured to process data;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- detect one of the electronic apparatus and the external apparatus which move close to each other within a preset distance,
- based on a first movement of the electronic apparatus moving close to the external apparatus, designate the communicator as a transmitter for transmitting data and designate the external apparatus as a receiver for receiving the data from the transmitter,
- based on a second movement of the electronic apparatus detected by the sensor and the communicator being designated as the transmitter, control the communicator to transmit the data corresponding to the detected second movement to the external electronic apparatus as the receiver, and
- based on a third movement of the external apparatus moving close to the electronic apparatus instead of the first movement of electronic apparatus, designate the external apparatus as a transmitter for transmitting data and designate the communicator as a receiver for receiving the data from the transmitter.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored thereon program code which, when executed by a processor of an electronic apparatus, causes the electronic apparatus to perform at least one operation comprising:
- detecting one of an external apparatus and the electronic apparatus which move close to each other within a preset distance;
- based on a first movement of the electronic apparatus moving close to the external apparatus, designating the electronic apparatus as a transmitter for transmitting data and the external apparatus as a receiver for receiving the data from the transmitter;
- based on a second movement of the electronic apparatus detected by the sensor and the electronic apparatus being designated as the transmitter, transmitting the data corresponding to the detected second movement to the external electronic apparatus as the receiver;
- and
- based on a third movement of the external apparatus moving close to the electronic apparatus instead of the first movement of electronic apparatus, designating the external apparatus as a transmitter for transmitting data and designating the communicator as a receiver for receiving the data from the transmitter.
